Marvel Rivals Valentine’s Day Event Faces Backlash Over Skin Giveaway Format

Players criticize the event's reliance on random matchmaking with streamers, which disrupted gameplay and limited access to free skins.

Marvel Rivals introduced a Valentine’s Day event offering free wedding-themed skins for Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman through specific matchmaking conditions.
Players had to join Quick Play matches during limited time slots and be matched with participating streamers to qualify for the free skins.
Many players expressed frustration over the event’s random and restrictive nature, comparing it to a lottery and noting that it disrupted normal gameplay with frequent match-leaving.
While some praised the design and concept of the skins, others criticized the implementation, which excluded many players due to time constraints and server requirements.
The skins are also available for purchase in the in-game store for 2,800 Units as a permanent addition, providing an alternative for those unable to participate in the event.
